NYS premises liability law

By law, New York property owners and landlords are required to protect guests and customers from injuries by keeping their grounds in reasonably safe condition. This premises maintenance may include regular upkeep to repair damage, providing adequate security, installing sufficient lighting, or protecting visitors from potential animal or human attack.

Faulty pavement, broken stairs or minimal security on the premises all constitute dangerous conditions – hazards that property owners are required to address in a timely manner. If sufficient repairs are left unattended, or warnings not provided, severe injuries may result.

New York laws goverining property owners

Determining responsibility of the landlord or property owner is the first step in pursuing a premises liability lawsuit in New York. Once accountability has been determined, monetary damages may be available through a settlement or court award if it’s proven that a property owner breached their duty to keep their building safe.

In New York, the statute of limitations allows legal action to be taken within two years of the injury, but if suing a public corporation or government agency or municipality, this time frame may be substantially shorter. As in most states, New York premises liability law stipulates certain legal obligations for property owners that are dependent on the manner in which the premises are used.

Examples of various obligations imposed on New York property owners:

Property owners who invite guests to do business on the premises are called upon to inspect their grounds regularly and warn patrons of any dangers. Customers, who are classified as “invitees,” are owed the highest standard of care.

Landlords or property owners that have guests that were invited as friends or casual acquaintances do not have to inspect their premises for potential hazards on a regular basis, but should they find a problem, it must be corrected and visitors warned about it.

Trespassers are still owed some protections if they suffer injury while on another’s premises. Property owners are still obliged to warn trespassers if known dangers exist on the grounds.

Throughout New York State, some of the most prevalent premises liability injuries include:

Following any type of accident in New York – whether on a flight of stairs or a public restaurant – it’s important to seek the help of a premises liability lawyer who has the resources and skill to investigate your claim, protect your legal interests and help you get the compensation to which you are entitled.
